Echo of the Soul: The Sacredness of the Human Body - J. Philip Newell

Descriere Echo of the Soul: The Sacredness of the Human Body - J. Philip Newell

\n \nAn exploration of what it means to be in the image of God, using the Bible and ancient texts.\n \nWhat does it mean to be made in the image and likeness of God? That's the first-and defining--characteristic of our humanity, celebrated in the opening pages of the Bible. Western Christian tradition, however, has often led us to think of the body and soul as a separate element, with the soul good and the body evil. This profound and challenging book clears away centuries of misunderstanding and shame that have damaged the way we see ourselves--and the way we see God. \n \nAuthor J. Philip Newell, acclaimed for his work on Celtic spirituality, goes back to our spiritual roots in the bible, and in mystical Celtic and Jewish writings, to weave together a deeper, more complete understanding of our bodies as an outward expression our spiritual selves.\n \n\n
